If I understand you correctly, I've done some thing very close to that before. If you use prussiks on the hammock supports, you'll run into the same issue as the HH style - the attachment points actually get closer together as you weight the hammock, and the tarp sags. So you have to use an attachment that slides...I used minibiners from the tarp grommet to the hammock support. It worked ok...kept the tarp close to the hammock at that end (I only did one end that way).

This method also causes the top of the tarp to get closer to the ground as you weight the hammock. I used tensioners on the side tie-outs, and they took up enough slack that the tarp stayed taut.
